Sam Alvey is the best failed WWE gimmick ever.

Dodson vs. Makovsky has been added to 187. Pretty sure that's a title eliminator.

Yes, she is very rough around the edges.

Too humid in the arena for a riot. But yeah, Doug Marshall may be a better trainer/cornerman than he is a fighter. Gibson probably should got the nod over Silva de Andrade and Reneau pistol whipped Bate-Estaca.

Nothing yet, but Top Rank usually put on crappy PPV undercards. The Floyd/TMT ones aren't much better. The problem is most of the quality Haymon fighters are already booked. So I expect somebody like Leo Santa Cruz occupying one of the 3 prized undercard spots against a jobber.

FOX Sports: UFC ‏@UFCONFOX 3h T.J. Waldburger fell ill prior to weigh-ins and his fight with Wendell Oliveira has been cancelled. Both fighters will be paid show money

Probably but it's not like fans are calling every good female fighter some type of destroyer. It's a bit more clearer who is the cream of the crop though than say....three years ago. I meant it more in a fighters losing steam in a significant way when it comes to support they gain (legitimate or not). That definitely seems to happen to most of the big free agent male signings and prospects. MMA fans are quick to label fighters a bust. People were like "lol the Machida era", but Lyoto is still around kicking the crap out of folks. Almost literally! The same goes for Lawler around the time when he was losing to Lorenz Larkin. I think the fact a lot of fans have lived through the era of dominant champs has made people stop believing in anyone who isn't at least top 3 in the division. The days of people clinging onto Denis Kang types being the next middleweight great are over. That's kinda scary when it comes to fandom because fighters have gotten significantly better since then and so much stuff isn't taken seriously as it relates to style matchups.

Turns out I was right Lance Pugmire ‏@latimespugmire 7m..@DaneD_NY supposed to be Lampley and Bernstein with Kellerman and Gray handling fighter interviews. James Brown is studio host

The thing is you can never really measure that when they're facing other guys. Yeah, Pacquiao vs. Algieri is gonna bomb on PPV. Yeah, Floyd isn't gonna do a million against Robert Guerrero. You can promote those fights 4 or 5 months out and still have disappointing numbers. However, if it's a fight everyone truly wants to see, they can fight next Saturday outside in the pouring rain. Doesn't matter.

Well, at his point, the UFC has to be behind anyone who can be considered an equal to Ronda. If Zingano won somehow, they would love to market the shit out of the rematch. The one advantage that women's MMA has over the men is that the stigma of "this person was never that good" is not really there yet. That partly can be attributed to the fact looks kinda matter in terms of drawing.

Also, I expect the media tour to begin this upcoming week and move into week after.

Whether it's high or lower than expected, it's going to break the revenue record. Now the actual Mayweather/De La Hoya 2.5 million number? That only can be determined the last three or four days (fighter arrivals at MGM, presser, weigh-in) before the fight and fight night itself. But because it's a very big fight, I expect to hear tracking numbers DURING fight week as opposed to the day after to two weeks later.

I still think they have free trials (at least for first time users or w/e). By the way, the UFC 185 prelims will be on FX due to the Big East basketball tournament.

If it has to be a three man booth, it is going to be Lampley, Bernstein, and a non PBP guy. It will most likely come down to seniority. Jim Gray will likely be there because of that as well. Gray probably trades off on the interviews with Kellerman. This is where you miss Emanuel Steward. He was the best when big fights went down.

Mauro is actually pretty good IMO aside from the obligatory puns and catchphrases. I don't love him like Meltzer does, but he fits into whatever seamlessly compared to everyone else. Now who I don't want to see? Kellerman. He's a HBO shill guy now. FNF era Kellerman would shit on how awful 2012-present Max Kellerman is.

Fight_Ghost ‏@Fight_Ghost 9m Weight limit is 147, no rematch clause, each man wears their usual brand of gloves, 60-40 split #MayweatherPacquiao

Andreas Hale ‏@AndreasHale 18s No rematch clause for Mayweather-Pacquiao. One fight deal. SHOWTIME SPORTS ‏@SHOsports 33s Regarding All Access & 24/7, no details are confirmed at this time. We will be doing ancillary programming to support the fight. Andreas Hale ‏@AndreasHale now There will be an all-star commentary team from both HBO & Showtime. It will be announced at a later date.

Well, the conference call going on right now will probably answer some of that. I think Iole and Leonard Ellerbe confirmed that info will be known over the next few days.
